What is the opposite of the word "problem"when defined as "an arrangement"?

I suspect that word would be, "Solution."

Is a solution an arrangement?

Yes sir.

The best arrangement that ever could be.

How can the definition of problem be "an arrangement" the opposite of problem be a solution and a solution be "an arrangement"?

Because I suspect that a problem is only defined as a problem relative to the person perceiving it to be a one.
It is my understanding that it is a matter of perspective relative to the person precieving the given situation.
But I could be incorrect.

I also suspect that a solution is only defined as a solution relative to the person who has deemed it to be a one.
Once again it is a matter of perspective relative to the person precieving the given situation.
But I could be incorrect about my analysis of this situation also.

Thank you for the analysis and the conversation. The definition of problem and solution suggested is ambiguous at best. I'll stick with the initial one of "anything unbalanced" until I come across another one._________________What is the reason YOU were born into a SYSTEM of INJUSTICE if not to replace it with a SYSTEM of JUSTICE?

Your welcome, but I don't think you answered my question.

Here is my question:

Is White Supremacy(Racism) a problem or is it a solution?

Thank you.

It is a problem because it produces imbalance. Racism (white supremacy) does not produce "balance between people" nor does it produce "balance between people and things". "Anything unbalanced" is a problem._________________What is the reason YOU were born into a SYSTEM of INJUSTICE if not to replace it with a SYSTEM of JUSTICE?

Thank you for your response.

How do you define the word "balance?"

"Balance" is a word...a way of saying "justice" or "just" in reference to justice. It may even be better to define "problem" as "anything unjust" or "any non-just speech and/or action"._________________What is the reason YOU were born into a SYSTEM of INJUSTICE if not to replace it with a SYSTEM of JUSTICE?
